Rec. #349: Art & Lies
What: On a high-speed train hurtling through a near-future dystopia, we encounter Handel (not that Handel), Picasso (not that Picasso), and Sappho (yup, that one). Jeanette Winterson does her sly-philosophy-sexy-social-commentary thing.
Representative quote: "That which is only living can only die."
You might not like it if: You find it all a bit opaque.
How to get it: Buyable, borrowable, Kindle-able.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Winterson also wrote The Passion (Rec. #66), The PowerBook (Rec. #302), and Weight (Rec. #272).
